I have had 2 young children and I am 29, in 2026 I am returning back to my job I worked hard for part time, and I want to optimise my health.
I want to sort out my gut/ maintain my weight loss/ invest more time into self care and not feel guilty to have things done one off for just me (beauty appts etc).

How are you going to try and get your pink back this year? Xx

Christ almighty. Which brand of feminism involves sneering at and berating a young woman for using a fun analogy?

Not mine.

It's not a fun analogy. It's so toe curlingly cringey it makes me embarrassed for her.

Unfortunately women are never going to be seen as equal when we start sprouting out ditsy airheaded phrases like that.

Enjoying your femininity is being a 'ditsy airhead' is it?

Comparing recovering from childbirth to a flamingo getting its feather colour back, is deeply ditsy, yes.

No, that’s not what the OP posted at all and you’ve massively twisted her words.

But regardless of that, so what if a woman does wish to refer to recovery from childbirth using those words? It’s up to her.
